We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.
Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.
Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out.

Losira hits something like 350 APM and constantly abuses map control with speedlings. He does things like snipe off colossus with speedlings, frequent runbys, and baneling bombs - the things that IdrA claims only works against "worse" players. Yet it worked against MC.
IdrA plays a very methodical, macro style that focuses on getting a better economy and more units than his opponent while making better decisions. Or he all-ins. Neither of these styles seem to work very well vs. MC. I don't think it's that he can't, he just chooses not to. It's a different kind of playstyle and it just looks so much better than Idra's cause he's winning; he was doing the same thing vs MMA and it looked considerably weaker because MMA controlled it so well.
I added in a "in his current form" caveat for IdrA. IdrA is certainly capable of hitting the APM and multi-tasking necessary for this style, but he hasn't trained it for quite a while, because in his own words, "you don't need to practice that much for SC 2." He also, arguably, lacks the mentality for it - IdrA is a relatively defensive player (when he's not all-inning, at least); this kind of style fits players like Sen a lot more.

Worth noting that Idra would have been code S had he stayed in Korea

MC may want to secure a 3rd using DTs but he's under HEAVY pressure!

No starport, so scary... will MC hold?

losira using his special timing. Even if MC loses the natural the DTs will destroy the Zerg's already low drone count

This! I honestly think IdrA is playing the wrong race. The way he plays, it's like he really *wants* to be able to use his macro skills to build a bigger army and then win a straight-up fight. 90% of his balance whining is about how badly zerg fails in a stand up fight. But that's just not the way zerg is designed. Losira won that game long before there was any straight up fight.

LoL just noticed the Losira twitching. Neck stretching etc.
